Subject: Pine 4.0/IMAP4

We are anxious for IMAP4 that is planned to be in Pine 4.0.  Are there any
estimates when Pine 4.0 will be available?

Regards,
Richard Jackson

Richard,
Exactly *which* IMAP4 features are you anxious for?

(The only user-visible one planned for Pine 4.00 is folder hierarchy
support.)

If you are anxious for _IMAP_ 4 features rather than _Pine_ 4 you could
consider picking up and compiling/installing the current Beta version of
the IMAP 4 server.  The IMAP server has always been available as a
separate kit, in addition to that bundled into the Pine distribution.  Do
note, however, that the IMAP 4 kit is currently _beta_ software (although
we are having little/no problem with it here).

Cheers,

BETA? AFAIK IMAPd 4 from UW is already released (for several month at
least).  Anyway, my copy doesn't say "beta software" any more. It is new,
revised specification of IMAP 4, which is porbably in BETA state. 

Or do I miss something?

greetings

I'm sorry, I should have been clearer...

When I first looked a few weeks back there were three relevant files in
the /imap directory at ftp.cac.washington.edu...

	imap-4.tar.Z
	imap-4.1.BETA.tar.Z
	imap.tar.Z

Pretty obviously the first was a final release on the IMAP 4 server, the
second a Beta release of the 4.1 server, and the third was a symbolic link
to the first.

In the past the imap.tar.Z file pointed to the "released" software, and
the "BETA" kit to the still day-by-day evolving version.

The situation subsequently changed to (and still is):

	imap-4.1.BETA.tar.Z
	imap.tar.Z

with the latter being a symbolic link to the former.

This would tend to imply to me that the distribution kit of the final
version of 4 is no longer being made available, and people are expected
now to download the still-Beta version of 4.1. 

Presumably you obtained the final release of 4 whilst it was still
available?

Thank you for the reply.  We need IMAP4 for Netscape Communicator 4.0 preview
1.  Communicator fails with IMAP2bis.  Currently, we are not sure exactly
which feature it uses but it claims it needs IMAP4.
